Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

BelgiumThe tidying up of the room is not done, not even once during the entire 5 days. Luckily, we know how to manage our room properly. :(
The place is easy to locate and 2 minutes walk to the beach. The breakfast was fantastic. We really enjoyed every morning with the magnificent view of the beach. The staff are very friendly. The hotel has a very nice and large pool. We really enjoyed our 5 days stay.

EstoniaBreakfast. Really did not enjoy it, as we did not get to choose what to eat. I enjoy eggs for breakfast, but there was omlette only on one morning. Hotel guest could have special offer for beach sunbeds as well.
Really enjoyed our room - as it had two separate rooms and a huge balcony. Star of the show was the pool - which never had too many people on sunbeds or inside the pool, so we had good time using it daily.

United KingdomAt the pleasure beach, beach area (Separate from the owners of the hotel - they have no control of sunbed pricing at the beach) they supply sunbeds ranging from 20 Euro for two beds and umbrella. Further down Dolphin beach charge 10 euros for 2 beds and umbrella. I believe sunbeds on the beach should be free to the pleasure beach hotel residents.
Breakfast was good. On the first morning we were given far too much food that we didn't order. You can however ask for whatever you would like for breakfast from toasties, full English breakfast, omelette, also coffee and juices.

MaltaThe fact that we had to call for someone to give us the hotel key as it’s not true that the receptionist is there 24 hrs. In the room there is a kettle but it would be nice to have some tea/coffee and some sugar considering that before 9:00am, there is no way you can get a coffee. Sunbeds at the beach are at a price of €10 p/p and We would expect that they will be free for hotel users. The hotel has a pool but obviously it’s completely different from the beach as the pool is facing building and mountains. At night you might here the barking dog of the neighbors which once you get used to it, it wasn’t an issue.
We like the fact that the hotel is right next to the beach. The hotel has its own parking area. The room was clean but towel change only after 3 days. The breakfast is good and is done right on the beach but not before 9:00am.

United KingdomMalia is for the beautiful party people, and we felt quite uncomfortable as a family with smaller children. We didn't use the beach by the hotel, as it was packed and noisy.
The room was big, with a good balcony, a little kitchen with fridge and an extra bunk bed room. The breakfast in the cafe in front was lovely - we were served a variety of things over the 3 days we were there. The pool was good for an end of day cool down, and the couple running the hotel were very nice.

SwedenMalia is in fairness more of a party place and wherever you go out you have more or less drunk youngsters driving rented quads.
Kind and helpful caretakers that kept the hotel clean and nice. Near to the beach and nice pool area, also at a fair distance from the loud night life. Breakfast really nice in the club by the beach. We found ok restaurants with "local touch" within walking distance.

ItalyMy only very small complaint was that I assumed the basic beach chairs would be free for members of the hotel but they were discounted instead. Not a big deal at all, I just wasn't expecting it.
The breakfast was phenomenal! The best hotel breakfast I've ever had and we travel a lot. The location was also excellent. It was within walking distance of the beach, with tons of restaurants and supermarkets, and places to rent vehicles and book excursions. They were also wonderful with our small children.

NetherlandsHotel had a new owner and name, and therefore we could not find much earlier reviews, and we took some risk. But no regrets at all. We had a 2 bedroom apartment on ground floor. Bedrooms were not too big, but sufficient. Beds were really great. Cleaning every 3 days and spotless clean!!!. Bathroom somewhat small and could do a bit of an upgrade. Breakfast was served at the Pleasure beach club, and this was honestly the best breakfast we ever had. Imagine served breakfast with fresh ingredients served with a beach view at a beautiful beach club. Location at the end of Malia strip, but at least at this time of year this part was very quit, and still at walking distance from some nice restaurants. Pool was nice and most days we only ones using the pool

Easy to collect the key. The property in pictures were more attractive than in reality , but in general the rooms were big and clean. Great location as the beach is 100 m from the hotel.
